COVID 19 to Impact the Use of Biodegradable Packaging Materials
Since the outbreak of the novel coronavirus has turned into a pandemic, the debates over how packaging plays a role in the spread of the virus have been on the rise worldwide. Though governing bodies such as the United States Food & Drug Administration (FDA) have disputed the fact that plastic and cardboard as a part of packaging can spread the novel coronavirus, the concerns of customers have had a significant impact on the adoption of biodegradable packaging materials as well.
In addition, packaging industry experts have been weighing in on a debate over whether the industry has been putting its concerns over the use of plastic and non-biodegradable packaging on hold, because of the coronavirus pandemic. Some players in the industry are still mapping their business strategies to boost the use of biodegradable packaging, however, many other companies may have put a hold on their production as the world goes under a lockdown. This way, the COVID-19 pandemic may influence the upcoming trends in the global biodegradable packaging market in the coming years.
